2006 Hyundai Santa Fe review from North America
"Very well thought out and comparable to much more expensive vehicles"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No problems thus far.
Been a nice, quiet vehicle so far.
Need better lighting in the front of the interior during entry.
General comments?
Great vehicle! Very quiet and very responsive.
Interior space is generous, and we love the large storage bins under the rear decking.
Fit and finish are impressive, and the interior materials look to be of high quality.
I like how the rear wiper works. When you first turn it on, it makes 5 complete sweeps, then goes into a pulse mode after that. This is perfect to keep the rear window clean during rainy weather.
Very thoughtful.
Generally, this is a very well thought out vehicle and it has been very reliable during the first 6 months of ownership.
